Richards of the BiRgsuchpsstteB Institute Of
Technology, some somewhat broken sptCi-

growing in silver ore localities. MGs5 Of
them had r08e-eOlOTed blossoms. On

Mrs, Richards has Eiuce reported tle

consequence Of the views above suggested q
to the possible significance OF color, the plnk
ROwered plantS were treated separately,
Tho specimens were cleaned as completely
al possible from earth; but this separation
could not be made perfect, because tht
